The film was produced by May Sandi Tin Oo, edited by Nyan Wint and background music composed by Myint Than Htun.

The film was regarded as radical and brave in the context of its setting in Myanmar, where LGBTQ+ people frequently face legal persecution, imprisonment and state-sponsored violence. The film was produced prior to the 2021 Myanmar coup d'état. The director Na Gyi and one of the main cast Paing Phyo Thu, who are married in real life, were forced to go into hiding afterwards for their opposition to the coup. Eaindra Kyaw Zin, the film’s other main actor was arrested and imprisoned in February 2021 and released in early 2022.
